[disclaimer: as Split Works, we are directly involved in the organization of the JUE | Music + Art Festival]
Friday night sees the start of the 4th annual JUE Festival. Founded in 2009 as an alternative to the influx of big outdoor festivals in China, JUE aims to unite the creative communities contributing so much to the “new” China.
in 2012, JUE takes in nearly 100 events over a 17 day period in Shanghai and Beijing. There are poetry slams, flea markets, photography exhibitions and music ranging from indie balladeers Death Cab For Cutie (this Friday 9th in Shanghai and Saturday 10th in Beijing) to sleazy underground partay Love Bang (directly after Death Cab in both cities), from the sharp cutting skillz of Rob Swift, to Chinese popstrells Qu Wanting and Summer Lei.
